According to the attending doctor’s diagnosis just now, Shen Zhigang’s pain was definitely caused by food poisoning, so his stomach was immediately washed.
After the gastric lavage, Shen Zhigang visibly looked much better and was no longer in as much pain.
Unexpectedly, this young man actually said that Shen Zhigang had acute gastritis.
Ye Qiu didn’t bother to say more to the other party. Upon entering the emergency room, Shen Zhigang was still lying there, looking very uncomfortable.
After Ye Qiu had everyone leave the room.
The emergency doctor and the nurse still wanted to say something.
Unexpectedly, Shen Zhigang soon realized that this kind of pain was indeed gradually disappearing.
When he was able to get up by himself, he found that the pain was completely gone.
How could this be?
Could it be because of Ye Qiu’s treatment just now?
"Uncle, you’re okay now. What did you eat when you went out last night?"
"Had some game."
Game?
What kind of game?
"Could it be rat meat?"
The rats in big cities are very filthy, but in some places, people still catch and eat them.
If it’s a field mouse from the countryside, it might be cleaner.
"Not rat, but a toad."
Toad?
Ye Qiu immediately understood the situation upon hearing this.
Of course, according to the emergency doctor’s explanation, they must have treated it as food poisoning.
When Ye Qiu went outside, he said, "Auntie, Uncle is fine now."
Shen Yueru, her sister, and their mother quickly went inside.
Ye Qiu sat outside.
When the four came out, the hospital initially intended to keep Shen Zhigang for a few days for observation, but now that there seemed to be no issues, he didn’t want to stay.
After Shen Xingru paid the medical bills, she got into Ye Qiu’s car, and Ye Qiu drove towards the Shen Family Villa.
Ye Qiu had been to the Shen Family Villa many times before.
When they parked the car, Shen Yueru’s mother had already gotten out with her father.
"Your dad just said he ate toad with a friend last night."
Toad?
That disgusting thing, and father actually ate it.
Of course, wealthy people have tried everything; sometimes out of curiosity, they might try such game too.
Toad meat has little to offer, but if not cleaned properly, it could lead to food poisoning. Moreover, even if not poisoned immediately, it could lead to acute gastritis like Shen Zhigang’s later.
"I guess I need to tell Dad not to eat that kind of thing again."
Shen Zhigang thought father wasn’t that old, didn’t drink or smoke, kept himself in good shape, yet this time almost lost his life.
"Doctor Ye, what were you two talking about?"
Tang Shuzhen asked as she saw the two hadn’t come down from the car yet.
When Ye Qiu and Shen Yueru got out of the car, Shen Zhigang was already back in his room resting.
From Tang Shuzhen’s perspective, they were fortunate to have Ye Qiu. If it were hospital treatment, though he might have recovered eventually, the time it would have taken was unknown.
When Ye Qiu went inside to have tea, he noticed Shen Xingru continuously watching him.
"Xingru, is there something you want to ask?" Ye Qiu asked curiously.
"Doctor Ye, there are some things I’d like to consult you about."
Shen Xingru then took Ye Qiu to her room.
Now that her son was at kindergarten, she didn’t need to look after him.
Seeing Shen Xingru bring Ye Qiu to her room, Shen Yueru curiously wondered what her sister was discussing, yet she didn’t follow them in.
Once in Shen Xingru’s room, Shen Xingru said, "Thanks again for last time."
It was evidently about that matter.
Looking at Shen Xingru, Ye Qiu commented, "You can completely consider remarrying."
"Impossible, I’ve developed a fear of marriage. Who knows if I’ll meet another unlucky husband."
Shen Xingru was truly scared.
If that were the case, at her age, with desires as strong as they were, it was a genuine necessity.
"Then let me help you solve it now."
As Shen Xingru extended her hand, Ye Qiu gently squeezed it.
Then he left the room.
Shen Xingru felt an indescribable comfort and hurried to change her underwear.
"Hey, what did my sister talk to you about?"
"Solving some issues."
Solving some issues?
That sounded odd, but in Shen Yueru’s eyes, if something happened between her sister and Ye Qiu, it couldn’t have happened so quickly.
It looked like they hadn’t even had time to take off their clothes.
Since it wasn’t that kind of issue, Shen Yueru decided not to think about it anymore.
But when she saw her sister as if she had just taken a shower and changed clothes, appearing a bit flushed, Shen Yueru glanced at Ye Qiu with puzzled eyes.
During lunchtime, the Shen family’s maid went out to buy groceries for lunch, and after Ye Qiu had lunch there, he drove Shen Yueru back to the Xingyue Group.
Actually, Shen Yueru knew her sister was quite pitiful, but family was family, pitiful as she might be, how could she give up the man she liked to her sister?
Moreover, she knew there was no possibility between Ye Qiu and her sister.
As they arrived at the Xingyue Group, Ye Qiu looked at Shen Yueru and said, "If there’s a next time, find someone else to be jealous."
"What?" Shen Yueru asked.
"About being jealous, you should know that I have more than just you among my women."
"You!"
Just as Shen Yueru was about to say something, Ye Qiu already told her to get out of the car. He wouldn’t spoil her; if she liked him that was fine, but she definitely couldn’t monopolize him.
Shen Yueru stood dazed, watching Ye Qiu drive away, unsure whether to cry or express something else.
Was she wrong to be jealous?
Regardless, she knew that Ye Qiu meant what he said—if angered, he wouldn’t even glance at her. After all, he wouldn’t ask anything from her; conversely, it seemed everything she had now was thanks to him.
This jerk!
Shen Yueru couldn’t help but curse, trying to steady her emotions before entering the elevator; she didn’t want her colleagues to see her reddening eyes.
However, regarding this issue, she needed to talk with Xiao Mei because she suspected Ye Qiu often kept in touch with Xiao Mei privately.
Of course, since Xiao Mei was extremely competent, she couldn’t just fire her, as that might displease Ye Qiu and lead to unpredictable consequences.
At this point, Ye Qiu left the Xingyue Group, heading back to the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community.
It was winter break, a little over half a month before the Lunar New Year.
Ye Qiu planned to go towards the East Sea, not only to spend time with Ma Wenwen but also to check in on Jiang Xiyue.
